ALL those who expect to be coaches or assistant coaches MUST complete the Coach Certification and Registration Process outlined below by August 12. Please be sure to save all your confirmation numbers and certificates on your desktop because you will be entering and uploading all that in step 4 on the WYF website:

WYF will pay for the cost of the background check directly unless you click the box to choose to pay for it yourself. There will be no reimbursements should you click the wrong box.

Please write down the 6 digit number that you will be assigned at the end of the background check process. You will need this number as proof of performance to enter in step 4 below.

NOTE: If you complete the background check but do not have a confirmation number, enter "LOOK UP" in the WYF Coach Registration in Step 4 below.

4. Register on the WYF website and enter all the above certification information. (ALL COACHES)

When entering dates on the WYF Coach Registration, please use two digits for the year instead of four digits. (8/1/17 instead of 8/1/2017)

Please be sure your member information page includes your Date of Birth or you will not be able to register as a coach. If you do need to add your date of birth, be sure to click on "submit" and then go back to this email with the link and try again. When entering your Date of Birth in your profile, it is a four digit year (1/1/1956)
